Hi Will, I'm using three main timeframes now on Hang Seng: 60 min / 15 min / 3 min with CCI18 and Fullstoch 14/3/5 beneath it (using quotetracker), seems like a good combination to me. Looks like we be seeing a 123 reversal on monday, going down, on the hourly timeframe within a 123 reversal...

well, I have got no idea if what you are doing is going to work too on forex or futures, but I wish you all the best with it. Maybe try to do some research of this in the weekend, it could really be worth the trouble as what you are doing now is probably not sustainable in the long run. Even...

it looks like you are overdoing it, which will not work in the long run. Lack of sleep is detrimental to trading and your account as I found out myself this week. I had an incredible first three days (15%/10%/11%) only to give most of it back in the next few days. This is a long term vernture...

another great piece of advice regarding keeping a personal trading book Yohoo. I will certainly start one. One question however on how to best get organised: what do you think is the best way to print screenshots ? Do you just take the screenshot of one timeframe (the most relevant one) and add...

Tom, another piece of friendly advice, don't try to trade when you are nearly exhausted, your mind starts to think less clear and you start taking emotional decissions. I know what I'm talking about, I had a really great first three days this week, but I only had slept about 4 hours each night...

and one more thing, if you trade, don't try to have too big an ego but be disciplined at all times. This probably my major fault (there are others too :D ). So always have a hard stop in, I sometimes don't and as a consequence always live to regret it when I don't. This can be very painfull...

Tom, try to take it slow with this method, I'm trying this for several months already and have some previous experience trading and it seems like you are allready trying to jump in front of me. Even at this stage I don't see probably half of what Yoohoo sees, but I am consistant and making...

it's allready solved, probably due to the reset around this time

anybody else having problems with IB: my orders get aknowledged but don't get through, kind of light blue colour

I wish they didn't close the hang seng halfway the day, very annoying, might as well do something while I'm behind my pc :) not much action there today, went long at 26 and got stopped out at 35 after waiting an eternity ... looks like we are forming a kind of flag in an uptrend

but also the hardest to master, also need to work on that one ... anyway, you did great today CF, remember this day when in doubt ...

it was a key reversal

great job CF, I must admit I envy the fact that you know allready how to read the 1 min so well, but I will be on your tail :D also cursing the fact that I'm here sitting with IB webtrader, not really responsible to try to take fast trades with that, so will have to sit on my hands for another...

if you state it like this, yes should have made lot's of money :D actually I'm at my dayjob at the moment but having nothing (litterally) to do over the past four days. This will soon change as the several departments of the city are preparing the budget for 2009 and I'm expecting a total...

as I write I'm stopped out at 94

went long at 89 because of double bottom, looking allright at the moment.

not my kind of day today in eur/usd, I have been basically doing nothing untill now

personally I think if you need 3k to live on, you should be able to make 9k on your account now a month. At least half of that should go to growing your account and the other half you can live on / save somewhere else. If you are able to do that now, you should reach your min of 100 k quickly...

if ever there was an impatient person around, it must be me. My daytime job really sucks, you have no idea (there is a good reason for that, long story, I got an illnes and can't work in my previous industry anymore) so all I want is to start trading fulltime. Experience learned me that's just...

BTW, the US market is open from me till 10pm. I deliberatly stopped trading it till the close, this has vastly improved my results and has made me more relax: I still have a kind of evening where I can turn my mind of of trading en enjoy some other things and interact with people I like. I used...
